Chapter 209: The Human Heart Consumed by Desire
The capital is beautiful and prosperous, a place where many people want to gain a foothold even if they squeeze their heads, but Cang Luochen doesn't like it, he only feels that even breathing in the capital is depressing and uncomfortable.
In fact, what Cang Luochen didn't like was not the city on that side, but the people there.
The capital is full of all kinds of desires and deceit, as if everyone has slowly shed their hearts from the moment they stepped into that city, and has become evil ghosts or puppets driven by profit.

It was not easy to walk in the scorching summer, and when it was close to noon, everyone was already sweating, even Cang Luochen.
In the afternoon, when the sun was at its hottest, Cang Luochen ordered the team to stop and rest, and everyone walked for more than half a day before they could finally stop and eat something.
Cang Luochen has been accustomed to such days for many years of marching and fighting, but these officers and soldiers in the capital do not have such good physical strength as her, and if she suffers from heat stroke, she has to drag her sick number, so even if the distance is very rushed, Cang Luochen still gives everyone time to rest.
Seeing that some people seemed to be a little unwell because of the heat, Cang Luochen ordered someone to set up a big pot and cook mung bean soup.
Xizi has been watching by the side, and after it is cooked, while no one else has moved, he first served a few bowls to Cang Luochen: "Childe also drink some mung bean soup to relieve the summer." ”
Cang Luochen took the bowl and saw that Xizi Xizi was sweating all over her face, and nodded at him with a smile.
At first, Xizi wanted to set up a small pot for Cang Luochen to cook mung bean soup, but Cang Luochen was used to eating and eating with the soldiers at the border pass, so he didn't want to be special. Xizi was worried that the things cooked in this cauldron were "not clean", so she kept watch by the fire on a hot day and brought the first bowl to Cang Luochen.
"Sit down and rest, the road is still long, and there are hard days." Cang Luochen took a sip of mung bean soup and said.
Xizi answered and sat aside, but said with a smile: "I don't feel hard, this is far more comfortable than running around the border in previous years." Kiko said as she touched the sweat on her head.
Cang Luochen couldn't help but think of the days when the battlefield was stormy all day in the early years, when there was still a war between the four countries, today you fight me, tomorrow I fight him, and the whole continent is in chaos.
Cang Luochen has always been a vanguard army, sometimes the snow falls to the thickness of his calves, but he still has to march quickly day and night, or the dog days are hot in the sky, but he can't stop.
At the time, I really felt very bitter, but now that I think about it, I don't feel anything, but I still miss the days of that time.
But I don't know what I miss.
"Following a master like me, it's also hard for you." Cang Luochen smiled and said to Albino, as well as Kiko and Chihiro.
Chihiro has never said much, and she shook her head and didn't mean bitter. Xizi said with a smile: "Since the day the slave came out of the mother's womb, he was proud to be able to serve his son, and now he has fulfilled his wish, where will he feel bitter." ”
Albinhua also smiled beside him: "I have heard about many generals' heroic deeds before, although I have not seen the general, but I have already respected it in my heart, I got acquainted with the general by mistake, the battle of Yuyang Gorge, Jiayun Guan swore to guard and also saw the big battle, this experience only felt reborn, General Xie was too late, where to say a bitter word." ”
Cang Luochen drank the mung bean soup in one gulp, put the bowl aside, listened to the words of the three of them, and smiled: "One by one, they have learned to make sycophants." ”
